1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal presents a montage of issues arising at a crossroads where traditional criminal law principles intersect with the marvels of modern technology. The appeal follows on the heels of a jury verdict finding defendant-appellant David Chiaradio guilty of possessing and distributing child pornography. The defendant challenges divers aspects of the indictment, trial, verdict, and sentence. After careful consideration of the well-marshaled arguments on both sides, we affirm in part and remand for further proceedings.
